MANITAL, a company of door and window handles, started its activity in 1990, in the province of Brescia, Northern Italy.
In 2004, following the expansion in the markets of the five continents, the company inaugurated the current factory in Gavardo (Brescia-Italy) where the offices and production are located.
Since its foundation, the corporate strategy of the owner Mr. Luigi Bigoloni, today at the helm of the company with the sons Alessandro and Luca, has been to combine design, functionality and innovation, with a 100% made in Italy production, in order to combine aesthetics and quality.
MANITAL ensures that each single product is manufactured with the utmost care employing only the best materials and with the help of the most sophisticated industrial technologies such as the die forming technology.
The design of Manital handles comes as a result of our collaboration with internationally renowned designers and architects such as: Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas, Sottsass Associati, Mario Mazzer and Giovanni Crosera, Bartoli Design, Pedrizzetti Associati, Maurizio Giordano and Roberto Grossi, Davide Mercatali, Valentina Downey, Itamar Harari, Hot Lab yatch & design.
As it grew, MANITAL succeeded in expanding onto international markets and now owns a sister company in Spain, plus a range of units located throughout Europe, Russia and Australia, in Canada, USA, United Arab Emirates, India, South America and many other countries.
MANITAL’s extremely wide catalogue comprises 85 ranges of handles for a wide variety of finishes with a total 600 products choice, all of them proudly and exclusively made in Italy.
In 2008 MANITAL obtained the ISO 9001 Quality Certification.
